leading the list of products in point Of
value is one which few would imagine
would be placed there. The popular
theory is that Wheat and Cotton are
the leading products Of American soil.
But the authorities at Washington say
Indian Corn leads. and have placed
that article at the head Of the list,
with value of S627, 900, 900. Wheat
comes next, say s444 1000, 900. Curl
ously enough. this hay crop is put in
for larger value than Cotton. But
hay is raised everywhere, while Cotton
is restricted to 4 limited area. Manu-
factures of the United States show a
larger value than the raw products.
1t is safe to say that the highest pros
perity is reached when country's
manufactures and raw products are the
most evenly balanced, for it then con-
tains the elements Of the greatest in
dependence.
California has always been depend
ent on Eastern and foreign markets
for large portion of her manufactured
articles. This is, of course, less note
worthy now than it was thirty years
ago. Then it was an interesting study
to go along the wharves where the big
ships from New York, Boston and
Liverpool were discharging.

LINCOLN COUNTY NEVADA.

The Keno Gaxotto says: ALI tnss
Lincoln requires to make it one OF the
best counties in Nevada il railroad
that will stand in and help develop its
almost unlimited resources by charg.
ing reasonably for its services. Al it
is, one must travel by stage or private
conveyance over 200 miles from any
railroad to reach the county seat,
Phoebe. The county's revenues dur
ing late years have not been sufficient
to pay its current expenses, and real
estate has no determined value. Its
mines are rich, but the ores, a. rule,
have to be shipped to Salt Lake to be
SUCCESSFULLY worked, and with high
charges for transportation this indus
try naturally remains dormant. The
future of the country, by no means,
depends entirely upon mining. The
agricultural interests are great. In

Caliisrnia Nsanufactures.


industries are Agriculture, Mining,
Manufactures and Commerce. These
fields employ at least four-fifths OF
the adult male population Of the
world. Agriculture in its broad sense
is the one essential Of all life and pros
perity. 1t is the one industry that
covers the face of the earth as the
waters cover the mighty deep. 1t is
the Oldest of the industries, bearing
date co-equal with that of creation,
and is the connecting link between
God and man. 1t was God who
brought the world into existence, but
il was left to man to till the earth
which had been created for him. The
cultivation Of the ground is therefore
Of Divine authority. The first fruits
Of vegetation were produced directly
by the Creator Of all things, but since
then man and God have worked to-
gether ia, the production Of the various
crops Of soil. The first command Is
sued from the Creator to the creature
was that the latter should be an agri-
culturist. In placing man in the
Garden Of Eden, he was told that his
business there was Ito dress it and to
lsep it," From that day to this. ag-
riculture has betn the normal pursuit
Of the rrce.
There is hint of mining and manu-
facture and commerce in this connec-
tion. which 10 well to observe. We
are told that = river proceeded from
Eden, which divided itself into four
heads and one Of these four branches
compassed the land of Havilah, where
there was Gold. and the Gold Of that
land was good 1t was also the home
Of the precious stones. These facts
indicate mining. The rivers are
typical Of commerce. The first thing
mentioned in the line of manufactures
by human hands was some aprons,
made of fig leaves, which Eve sewed
together for herself and her CON-
panion. The four great industrial
pursuits Of the. world have therefore
an ancient origin, and of these agricul-
ture has the sanction of Divine au-
thority. The others have come a. the
natural outgrowth Of that pursuit, and
AZ the concomitants Of civilization and
progress. Manufactures appear as an
incident to the fall of man, Of which
his spheres Of labor was widened.
Commerce is the exchange of products.
Mining brought to the surface port
able and imperishable medium for the
settlement of balances between man
and man, and between one section of
the world and other sections. All
count ries are credited with these four
industrial pursuits but they do not
thrive in all sections alike. California
is peculiarly favored in the early and
successful development of each, and
thus contains within her limits the ele.
ments Of the highest prosperity.
1t is an open question which ls the
most profitable pursuit, Agriculture
or Manufactured. America is more
largely devoted to agriculture than to
manufactures, while the reverse is
true Of Great Britain. Both are pros
porous countries. What their condi-
tion would be il one were devoted ex-
clusively to agriculture and the other
excluaively to manufactures, is
another thing. The Agricultural
Bureau estimates the value Of the soil
products of the United States at "a
Ola 900, 00O per annum. The article

Is the Outcome of the Horse Car
Strike.

Several Cars Almost Demolished by
the Rioters.
The Police QueII the Riot After Sew
erai Persons are Injured.

Boston, Feb. 20.-There was serious riot
in East Cambridge this afternoon, as result
of the recent strike and 'tie-up." Shortly
after noon large crowd of strikers and
their sympathizers gathered on Main street,
Cambridgeport, and as the various cars Of
the Cambridge line passed, their conductors
and drivers were hooted as "scabs." At 1.30
O'clock, there was great mob at the juno
tion of the Loebster street line with that Of
the Main street, and as the car turned into
Webster avenue the mob began hurling
bricks and stones at the car and its occu-
pants. By the time the car got through the
crowd it was a complete wreck. Each sue
ceeding car was similarly treated, till no less
than five cars had been badly damaged. Then
the police were telePhoned for, and within
twenty minutes large force Of officers ap-
peared on the scene. The mob by this time
had been worked up to degree of excite
ment, and when the officers attempted to dis
perse the crowd they met with determined
resistance. Bricks and stones were thrown,
and the police and many Of the rioters were
injured. The police then charged the crowd
with drawn reyolyers, and the mob instantly
scattered in all directions. Some dozen OF
the strikers were arrested and conveyed to
the police station. little later mob formed
further down the avenue, and wrecked an
other car. The police, reinforced by a
mounted squad, now demonstrated that they
meant business, for they charged the crowd
on the double quick" and the mob dispers-
ed along the side streets after discharging a
volley Of bricks at the police. These mis-
siles took effect In at least dozen cases, and
many officers were more or less seriously in
jured. Another batch Of prisoners were
taken. however, and the station house was
filed with those arrested. NUDe OF those in
jured are thought to be fatally hurt, and
there was no further trouble after the last
effective disposition of the mob on Webster
avenue At South Boston today there were
few minor disturbances between individu-
al strikers and "scabs," and number on
both sides were arrested, but the car compa-
ny was not interfered with in any way. In
this section both sides are firm, and the out
come Is still uncertain.

A UNION MEETING
Ends In Bloody Row-one Man Sc
riously Wounded.

CHICAGO, Feb 20.-The meeting of the
Bakers Union, No. 10, ended in bloody
row last evening. The union has been split
into two factions ever since the Haymarket
affair upon the question of Socialism and
Anarchism, and early in the summer that
faction which desired to publicly denouDce
the police, the State attorney, and his assist
ants and everybody connected with the sup
preston and punishment Of Anarchism, put
into practice and seeded from the Bakers
Union No. 10 and formed Independent I'm
ion, No. l. A joint meeting of the two un-
ions was held with view to consolidation a
week ago and another meeting was called
for last night. There was a large atten-
dance and spirited discussion. Albert
Kreuger of No. /, finally accused Adam Kort
of the opposite faction Of having misappro-
priated funds belonging to the union. Re
ordinations were exchanged when Kruger
drew dirk knife and rushed upon Kort,
who is hardly half his size. Kort received
the knife in his right shoulder blade passing
down to the elbow. A general scrimmage
took place. Kreuger is rabid Anarchist.
kort will probably recover unless it devel-
OBS that Kreuger's knife blade was poisoned,
as is feared. Officers followed Kreuger to
MS door. He made a desperate resistance,

THE ANTI-MoRmoN BILL.
What the Church organ at Salt Lake
Has to Say.

SALT LAKE Cry, Feb. 20.-The Mormo
press here displays great hilarity over the
passage Of the Edmunds-Tucker bill, saying
II will amount to nothing; The Herald gives
words: Altogether the Herald consid ers
the bill very great triumph for the people
of Utah, and an ingloriOus defeat for the
Anti-Mormon clique. True, the measure Is
harsh, unjust and violative OF the theory and
practice Of Republican government in many
respects, but it has been so modified since ft
passed the House and has been shorn Of so
many Of its worst features that as one COM
pares the measure as 1t now stands with the
bill which the ring wanted he must cOncede
feat with the ring. Even II the bill becomes
a law 1t win make few II any changes in
Utah. The people will still hold their own
and retain control Of their treasurer"
The Desert News, the chief organ Of the
Mormon church, after conceding the proba-
bility that the President will Sign the bill
says: And The jubilation Of the motley
liberal crowd which included all the really
criminal elements Of the territory, and all
the hungry and impecnicious Office seekers,
and bar-roOm lOafers Is terrible, toned down
by the doubts that possess their disappointed
souls. IL the Mormons should conclude to
take the test of oath and vote after all where
would be found the anticipations of the ex-
pectant bummers. How much Of a bill 10
take control Of the territory from the major
much vaunted measure be, and as for the
claim Of being anti-pOlygamy that
has vanished with the obnoxious
section on which Tucker set his
heart and Edmunds set his heel.
1t is bad bill which Congress has accepted,
and passed 1t Is vicious in many respects,
subyersiye of both religious and political
rights. but Is not anything like what was
wanted by these and their masters, who have
been rustling up half dollars for the accom-
plishment Of their nefarious purpose. If
the Mormons vote, that money has been
worse than wasted, and gloom will cover in
like funeral pail. As for the Church Of
Jesus Christ, Of the Latter Day Saints,
the object of assault, it will remain
unsurpassed jy this or any other infamous
scheme that can he concocted to cripple and
destroy it, There Is nothing in such futile
efforts that can change one Of its tenets, or
take from 1t any Of its powers. 1t will be-
come more consolidated than ever before be-
cause OF the outward pressure to which its
members are subjected by persecution, and
latter day saints or Mormons, whether the
bill becomes a law or not, will trust in God,
long live their religion, pursued their cause
and fill their mission in the world fearless Of
all opposition and regardless Of all human
consequences. The work Is the Lords and

FROZEN TO DEATH,
A Woman Overcome by a Storm
Dies in the Woods.

LOWELL, Feb. 19--After hours of unsuc-
cessful search, the body of Mrs. 0'Leary, the
wife of Cornelius O'Leary, respected resi-
dent of North Chelmsford, was found frozen
in the woods Of that town about 10 o'clock
this morning by Mr.. Remmis, her son-in-law,
and Herbert Blanchard, employed in But
mans soap works. 1t appears that Mrs. o.
Leary and her granddaughter. Ursula, aged
years, left home yesterday morning to visit
Mrs. Bemmis, the child's other grandmother,
who resides on the road leading to Chelms-
ford Centre. To reach the house they took
a short cut through the woods. 1t is now
uncertain whether Mrs. 0'Leary became
again insane and lost her way or whether she
and the grandchild were overcome by the
severe storm. 1t became known to her hus-
band. however, at 2 o'clock yesterday after
reached Mr.. Remmis' dwelling, and a search
party composed of men employed in But
mans soap works, and the residents of the
village, was organized, and they made an un-
successful search until dark set in. Mr.. o.
Leary and his son-in-law continued their
efforts, without success, until midnight. AT
an early hour this morning they again
started out. and about 10 o'clock Mr.. Remmis
and MIR. Blanchard found Mrs. 0'Leary in
the deep woods in lifeless condition.
Across her breast lay her child. DIR. Ed

in the grandchild, notwithstanding the suf-
fering she had undergone for twenty-foul
hours. The body Of Mrs. OLeary was

station and within few feet Of the Port
land Il Ogdensburg railroad track. The
establishment Is also connected with the
Boston & Maine and Maine Central tracks.
while side track laid for the company,
gives the best possible facility for rapidly
loading the products Of the works. The
company's offices are at "a Plum street in
this city and at " Water street. Boston. To
the inventive skill and excellent manage
ment of Mr.. John w. Stockwell, the treasurer
and business manager, the company Is large
ly indebted for its place in the first rank OF
the fiourishing industries Of Portland. For
the past two years the business has paic a
divided of "a per cent.
Among the articles manufactured, and
which have won great reputation are well,
drain and sewer pipe, stone burial cases,
chimney covers. stepping stones, building
blocks, checkered psyements, garden border,
flower vases and many other useful and
ornamental products. Portland cement has
as yet hardly gained its proper place in this
country. Elsewhere 1t Is common to see

THE REPUBLIC DISASTER.
The Baltimore and Ohio Officials
Charged With Cross careIessness.

TIFFIN, O., Feb. 2O.--The investigation
into the great Baltimore and Ohio disaster
near Republic, o., has been closed. The
coroner finds freight engine No. 10 was in
an unsafe and unserviceable condition, and
that officials of the road had been notified
of this fact, but still allowed it to be used
The engineer of the freight train was not
intoxicated, as charged, but worn out with
16 hours and 80 minutes continuous duty,
with green fireman and poor engine. He
had plenty of time to get TO Republic from
Seneca siding, but his engine was so poor
and leaked so that the fires were put out.
and it died on the track at the point of col
lision. The conductor Of the freight. l.. +.
Fletcher, failed in his duty. in not tagging
the limited express for he knew the engine
had died fifteen minutes before the express
was due. The brakes on the express, were
Inferior and ineffective for they failed to
check a speed of 43 miles an hour more than
one-half in a distance.of 1000 feet. The man
ner Of heating and lighting the cars OF the
express train was inferior, unsafe and dan
gerous, and contrary to the laws OF the State
of Ohio. Had the lighting and heating been
proper the cars would not have been burned
The report is severely condemnatory on the
officials Of the road for gross carelessness.
